Kond (Armenian: Կոնդ) is one of the oldest quarters of Yerevan. It is situated within the boundaries of modern Kentron District of the capital of Armenia. The word Kond means long hill in Armenian.[1] During the Persian rule was called Tapabashi (Turkic for "top of the hill").[2]
According to Hovhannes Shahkhatunyants, an Armenian historian, Kond located in the western and southern hillsides and foot of a rocky hill with similar name. Its western border was Hrazdan River, and the northern border was the Kozern Cemetery. Kond was populated by Armenians.[3]
